Beestat Alerts

In order to help users with their systems as much as possible, beestat generates some of it's own alerts. These are notated in the Source property when you expand an alert.

Heat Differential Temperature Low

The Heat Differential Temperature is how far the indoor temperature can drop below the setpoint before the heat is activated. For example, if your setpoint is 72°F and the differential is set to 1.0°F, then the indoor temperature will be allowed to reach 71°F before the system turns on.

The default value for this setting is 0.5°F (0.3°C) which, while great for comfort, is not the best way to run your system. Low differential temperatures will cause your system to turn on more frequently for shorter lengths of time. This results in decreased efficiency, longer total runtime, and more wear and tear on your HVAC system. The only benefit of a low differential temperature is increased comfort.

Cool Differential Temperature Low

The Cool Differential Temperature is how far the indoor temperature can rise above the setpoint before the AC is activated. For example, if your setpoint is 72°F and the differential is set to 1.0°F, then the indoor temperature will be allowed to reach 71°F before the system turns on.

The default value for this setting is 0.5°F (0.3°C) which, while great for comfort, is not the best way to run your system. Low differential temperatures will cause your system to turn on more frequently for shorter lengths of time. This results in decreased efficiency, longer total runtime, and more wear and tear on your HVAC system. The only benefit of a low differential temperature is increased comfort.
